Essentially, the problem is that during login the screen resolution is
resized but the screen isn't cleared; gnome-settings-daemon (or
*possibly the GPU) just fills the undefined space with snippets from the
framebuffer.
We could just insert a blank before beginning the login, and then
unblank after, however this would cause an undesirable flicker for
normal cases, where the screen resolution does not need to be changed.
Perhaps a better approach would be to alter gnome-settings-daemon such
that when it does a mode change during login, to either blank or scale
the existing framebuffer, rather than the ugly tiling.
